    摘要: A single-phase device-multiplexing active power decoupling cascaded rectifier and control method thereof. The rectifier includes: n device-multiplexing active power decoupling H-bridge units that are cascaded, n≥2; each unit including: a bridge arm H1 and a bridge arm H2 connected in parallel, a decoupling capacitor branch formed by two capacitors connected in series, and a resistive load; a decoupling inductor being connected in series between a midpoint of the decoupling capacitor branch and a midpoint of bridge arm H2; and a bridge arm H1 of a first unit being sequentially connected in series to an inductor, resistor, and power supply, and then connected to a bridge arm H2 of a last unit. A power switch module of an H-bridge rectification unit is multiplexed, which not only realizes unit power factor rectification of the unit, but also provides a loop for secondary ripple power to achieve secondary ripple power decoupling control.

    摘要: A wireless charging receiver, system, and control method, and relates to the field of wireless charging technologies are disclosed. A receiver coil of the receiver converts an alternating magnetic field transmitted by a transmitter to an alternating current, and delivers the alternating current to a compensation network. The compensation network compensates the alternating current, and then delivers the compensated alternating current to a rectifier. The rectifier rectifies the compensated alternating current to a direct current, and supplies the direct current to a load. The compensation network is a compensation circuit with a current source characteristic, so that the receiver coil and the compensation network, acting together with the transmitter, make an input end of the rectifier a constant current source.

    摘要: A smart doorbell system includes a doorbell switch, an input device, a chime circuit, and a ring circuit. A chime circuit includes a power connection terminal and a first rectifier circuit and a second rectifier circuit coupled to the power connection terminal and connected in parallel. The power connection terminal receives an alternating current including a first direction current and a second direction current that alternate. The input device is coupled to the chime circuit and generates a control signal. The control signal controls one of the first and second direction currents to pass through a corresponding one of the first and second rectifier circuits. The doorbell switch is coupled to the chime circuit and the ring circuit. A trigger signal is generated through the other one of the first and second direction currents when the doorbell switch is pressed, such that the ring circuit produces a ringing sound.

    摘要: A bidirectional two-phase chopper circuit boosts a voltage of direct-current power converted by an AC/DC converter to output it to a high-voltage battery and steps down a voltage of direct-current power being supplied to a low-voltage load unit from the high-voltage battery. A connector is connected to a quick charger supplying direct-current power. A connector is connected to a superquick charger supplying direct-current power having a higher voltage than that of the quick charger.
